Grave markers damaged at cemetery in Coldwater

Coldwater Municipal Services Manager Dave Sattler said he discovered the damage on Wednesday at Oak Grove Cemetery. He estimated that more than 30 grave markers in the oldest section of the cemetery were damaged.

The vandalism is believed to have taken place between Tuesday evening and Wednesday afternoon. The cost of the damage wasn’t immediately known. Police are seeking tips from the public in the investigation.

The same cemetery was targeted in 2007, when two teenage boys were blamed for damaging about 100 grave markers. Repairs at the time cost more than $20,000.
